User:DJSeith/Soo York City Urban Arts Collective

The Soo York City Urban Arts Collective is a collective of artists, creators and supporters committed to furthering awareness of hip hop culture in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and Algoma District.

History
The collective was formed by DJ Seith on August 11th, 2007, commencing with a series of monthly showcases at Arcadia Coffeehouse which put local hip hop talent on display. The monthly showcases provided a space for growth, feedback, collaboration and grassroots mentorship, and continued monthly until January of 2009, at which point the showcases were continued in a reoccurring fashion. In 2015, members of the collective volunteered as community members in contribution to the Mill Market Mural project, culminating in a live performance during the project's unveiling. In December of 2015, the collective put on a celebration of life for Ancil "Destro" Dedier, a member of Dan-e-o's Monolith Crew and avid supporter of Soo York City Urban Arts Collective during its formative years.

Ten Year Anniversary
The collective celebrated ten years of community building and support with an art and music showcase on August 11th, 2017.
